Constituting one of the most remarkable landscape creations of Romanticism in Portugal, the Monserrate Park received species from all over the world, which were organized by geographical areas, reflecting the different origins of plants and composing scenarios along paths, among ruins, nooks and crannies , lakes and waterfalls. In the 17th century, the Mello e Castro family took the tenure of the Quinta de Monserrate and, in 1718, D. Caetano de Mello e Castro, commander of Christ and Viceroy of India, acquired the farm.
